"College draftees get bigger signing bonuses, typically. HS kids get to free agency quicker and hence stand to make much more money. There's actually a good series of articles about this on fangraphs.com. It actually uses Cole and Tyler Chatwood as examples. You should consider investigating the details before arbitrarily taking a stance. Maybe see if Chatwood would trade his spot in the Angels rotation and 3 months of MLB service time for the glory years of overuse at college." -- Mars

Do you have any information regarding the unexpected firing of Travelers general manager Pete Laven and ticket manager David Kay?

Here is your chance to post what you know, what you think you know, or what you want to know completely anonymously.

Laven and Kay fired this late after the season and fired at the same time? I call BS.

The Arkansas Times story by Lindsey Millar is a great start. Now let's answer the outstanding questions and put Laven back in the general manager's office if warranted.
